Question RX 9070 XT power connector

[MukiNuki]

Hi, I have a FSP GM Vita 850w power supply.
For this momen I'm using I9 285k and ARC 770LE, I'm planning to upgrade to RX 9070 XT from Sapphire.
But the connectors on the cards shown are 3x8pin or 12pin (the PSU has this connector with cable).
If the Nitro+ will have 3x8pin, then I can connect with 2 cables to the PSU, or should I use a separate cable for each 8pin?
Wasn't the problem with the 12pin cables from Nvidi due to poor quality and bad usage?

Thanks,

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

It's actually a 16pin connector that Nvidia's RTX4000 series were reporting to have melted connectors due to an improper connection(mostly).

As for the 3x8pin PCIe connections on the GPU, use this illustration;

^ which was on Seasonic's support page, back in the day.

This is their revised guide;

but the principle remains the same.
